low-lying and flood-prone locations is imminent or occurring.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 955 PM AKDT, water continues to recede on Saturday but low
lying areas are still impacted. Three days of inundation has
left substantial stranded water and the airport runway is
still inoperable.
- The breakup front was located approximately 12 miles
downriver of Mountain Village as of 7 PM Saturday. It is
moving slowly into the remaining in-place ice. Plenty of high
water is still pushing down the river from the jam near Holy
Cross a few days ago. As the surge of high water moves
downstream, it is causing flooding in several communities
along the Yukon.
